Chapter 160: Gunshots in front of the hotel
In his previous life, Zhao Tiehu heard a passage that was undoubtedly suitable to describe the nature of some businessmen. David, who wants to rely on his own ability to become a millionaire, believes that he also has this nature.
The saying is, 'If you have 50 percent profit, you dare to take risks.' If you have 100% profits, you dare to trample on all the laws of the world. With a profit of three hundred percent, they dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged. ’
For these foreign businessmen who ventured to China to pan for gold, the so-called forbidden materials did not play any role at all. Many foreign businessmen living in Shanghai are basically engaged in smuggling business.
Although the Japanese were aware of this situation, all they could do was to fight and confiscate as much as possible. Of course, most of the targets of the crackdown and confiscation are the people who buy these materials, not the people who sell them.
At present, although the Japanese army is very strict in checking the materials entering China from various ports, it is also unable to block everything. Large goods are easier to check, but some small goods are not so easy to check.
Although medicines are scarce in the anti-war forces at present, they can always buy some medicines every once in a while. Where these drugs come from, of course, they are also bought through various channels from foreign merchants who can buy these drugs.
Regarding Zhao Tiehu's suggestion, although David felt that it was risky after listening to it, he also knew that this kind of business was very profitable. Most importantly, Zhao Tiehu also proposed to buy a batch of radio stations from him.
After some simple calculations, David found that the business cost nearly $50,000. Excluding the money for buying supplies, the income he can earn from it is also nearly 10,000 US dollars. And all he had to do was send a few telegrams.
Even in the end, Zhao Tiehu said directly: "Although I have channels, I can also buy these things." But you should know that it's more expensive than the price you can get for these goods.
And in terms of transportation channels, my transportation channels are easy to be targeted by the Japanese bowl people. On the other hand, if you procure the goods and I sell them, it will be safer, and we will not be in danger.
As long as the goods you buy enter the port, the transportation and sales of the goods are all in charge of my people. If you don't have enough money to purchase, I have a secret account at Citibank where I can make a deposit in advance. ”
Encouraged by Zhao Tiehu like this, David gritted his teeth and said, "OK!" Chen, I have to say, your suggestion is very tempting. But I hope that you can really make sure that the transaction is safe. After all, I don't want to provoke these arrogant Japanese bowlers! ”
'Rest assured! For the time being, at least, the Japanese bowl does not dare to offend our people in the United States of America easily. As long as you are in the concession, even if the Japanese people want to do something to you, I can guarantee that they will not have this opportunity.
I can't tell you much about my identity without permission. But what I can tell you is that my connections and power in this kingdom are far greater than you think. Even if I am a Japanese bowler, I am not afraid! ’
With this guarantee from Zhao Tiehu, David finally agreed to accept Zhao Tiehu's order. After Zhao Tiehu finished the meal, he also asked Chen Liquan to sign a commercial agreement with the other party and pay a deposit of 10,000 US dollars in advance.
When going through the transfer procedures at Citibank, David was also surprised to find that Chen Liquan's account level at Citibank was higher than his. When you go through the procedures at the bank, you are still in charge of the bank's senior class.
It can also be seen from this that Zhao Tiehu's funds are not problematic at all. In fact, Zhao Tiehu can enjoy such treatment at Citi, which has a lot to do with the fact that he has saved a lot of valuable gold and US dollars at Citi.
Although the banks opened by foreigners in China often like to play scoundrels. But for big customers, they still have a credibility guarantee. In addition to Citibank, Zhao Tiehu also has an account with HSBC, which is opened by British.
Then in the future, these two banks will also have aggregate business in Nanyang. Therefore, Zhao Tiehu will not worry that these two banks will be greedy for the money he saved. In the later stage, Zhao Tiehu will also use his deposits to enlist the help of two banks.
After all, in addition to taking on hiring tasks, making money is also their first priority. If you want to feed more and more mercenaries, if you don't have money in your pocket, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything!
Just when Zhao Tiehu negotiated cooperation with David and began to enjoy the hotel's food. The group of people who had sat on the same floor as Zhao Tiehu earlier also got up and left the hotel one after another.
Zhao Tiehu didn't care too much about their departure. It's just that when he was chatting and drinking with David, he listened carefully to the next movement. He believed that waiting for the hotel door should be very lively.
Sure enough, not long after the group left the hotel, many guests who were dining at the hotel suddenly heard a gunshot from outside the hotel. The sudden gunfire startled the diners.
Even David quickly saw that the two entourages who were standing nearby to protect Zhao Tiehu quickly walked over and whispered, "Young Master! Shots went off downstairs, not knowing what was going on. For the sake of safety, let's leave as soon as possible! ”
'No problem! You go down and see, what's going on? ’
Pretending to be curious, he commanded the special combat team members in charge of protection to go downstairs to check the situation. David also sighed and said, "Alas! During the time I was in Shanghai, something like this happened almost every few days. ”
'Really? Do you know who these people are? ’
'Who else could it be!' It is nothing more than a struggle between the two governments that are currently hostile! But rest assured, no one here would dare to murder our people in the United States of America so easily. Of course, this is only within the concession. ’
You mean, once you go out of the rental world, even your lives will not be guaranteed! ’
'Of course! It's still dangerous, and I think you'll experience it for yourself if you stay here for a while. However, your entourage seems to be very powerful, and with their protection, you should be safe! ’
While the two continued to drink and chat, the whistle of the patrol also sounded on the street outside the hotel. Not long after, the special combat team member who was in charge of going downstairs to check the situation made a gesture of 'the target was killed'.
But he still said: "It seems that someone is engaged in assassination!" I heard that the one who was killed was a well-known gang leader in Shanghai. Now there are a lot of patrols outside, and the murderer is being hunted down! ”
'Oh! Got it! ’
Compared with Zhao Tiehu's calm face, he continued to chat and drink with David. Some of the people who had accompanied the big guy to dine earlier were obviously scared enough. These people know that the identity of the dead man is not as simple as a gang leader.
Ji Yunqing, among the well-known gang youth gangs in Shanghai, is not inferior to Huang Jinrong in terms of qualifications, and is a gang boss who is equal to Zhang Xiaolin in terms of status. Since the fall of Shanghai, he was bought by the Japanese army and became a traitor.
And this person is also on the assassination list of the military commander, and Zhao Tiehu set a price of 50,000 oceans for this person's marked price. From the list given by the military commander, this person's offer can only be regarded as a medium price.
But in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, it is quite easy to earn 50,000 oceans with one shot. I believe that after this shot, these traitors who have been blacklisted by the military commander will also have to live in fear.
After eating and drinking, Zhao Tiehu and David came out of the hotel, looking at the pool of blood that was being cleaned up, Zhao Tiehu only glanced at it. Not long after, he took David in a car and drove away.
From beginning to end, I'm afraid that no one doubts that Zhao Tiehu has anything to do with this assassination case. And at this moment, the news of Ji Yunqing's assassination also quickly spread from the concession, which instantly caused a strong shock in the Qing Gang.
At this moment, another Qinggang boss who lives in the French Concession, Huang Jinrong, was also shocked when he learned the news. But he quickly ordered his men not to get too involved in the matter. This kind of thing, Huang Jinrong felt that it was not appropriate to interfere.
As one of the three tycoons of the Qinggang who are famous in Shanghai, although Huang Jinrong did not flee to Hong Kong for refuge like Du Yuesheng. But for the Japanese puppet army, Huang Jinrong finally refused, and stayed in the French Concession as a duke.
Compared with Huang Jinrong's choice to watch from the wall, Li Shiqun, the head of Wang's puppet spy at No. 76 Daxi Road in Shanghai, is very angry at this moment. The reason is that his other identity is Ji Yunqing's disciple in the Qing Gang.
Looking at the corpse that was transported, Li Shiqun asked with a dark face: "Did you catch up with the murderer?" ”
'Nope! The location where the other party fired the shot was at least three or four hundred meters away from the entrance of the hotel. By the time our people arrived, they were gone. At such a distance, the other party is only afraid of being a sharpshooter! ’
'Damn it! Send more people and check it out for me! We must find that murderer, I will skin him alive! ’
As the head of the special high school of the Japanese army and the spy leader appointed by Wang's puppet government, Li Shiqun knew very well that he and Ji Yunqing were both targets of the military command action team. But he didn't expect that the military commander still had this ability in Shanghai.
Although the current No. 76 secret service agency, the real person in charge is not Li Shiqun. But many people know that the real person of this secret service is Li Shiqun. The reason is also very simple, that is, he has Ji Yunqing as a backer.
The influence of the Green Gang in Shanghai has reached the officials and nobles, and has gone down to the three religions and nine streams. Ji Yunqing, as the boss of the Green Gang, has also been supporting Li Shiqun behind his back. But this time, Ji Yunqing was killed, which undoubtedly weakened Li Shiqun's influence in the secret service.
But for Zhao Tiehu, who returned to his residence at this moment, he asked Chen Wan to send a telegram to Wolf Wu, who was far away in Xuzhou, informing him of the news of Ji Yunqing's killing. Of course, Zhao Tiehu did not forget to ask the military commander to deposit the expenses into his account at Citibank.
A few hours ago, the agreed telegram was issued, and a few hours later, Zhao Tiehu sent a telegram asking for money. Dai Li, who saw this telegram, was also taken aback by the swiftness and cleanliness of the wolf warrior's actions.
From Xuzhou to Huai'an to Shanghai, the ability shown by the wolf warrior really surprised Dai Li. But he must admit that with the wolf warrior secretly assisting, I believe that the deterrent power of the military commander in the enemy-occupied area will also be greatly increased!
